        <h3>Step 6: Run the deployment to a SharePoint farm</h3>
               
        The deployment starts with one of the 4 batch files (e.g. StartDeploy.bat). Starting the batch file runs msbuild in a separate window which displays logging information during the deployment.
The deployment writes a log file (in ULS format) "Deployment.log" into the same folder.
The script checks several preconditions before starting the deployment (e.g. running timer jobs, is user administrator, is SharePoint installed etc.)
After successful deployment the window closes after 10 seconds (because we use the deployment also in automated deployments which are managed by TFS).
